I think the leading fox in the second picture is a different fox than the ones in the first

If you know where they are hanging out, make up some drop baits with Ivermectin in them and kill the mange! The biggest problem with that is all the other critters eating the bait. If you have them located with a trail camera like that, it would be easy to target them and not all the possums and pandas! I'm all in for trying that, could you share information on proceeding?(I found it on Amazon,however not sure which product) PM if you prefer... Thanks!

I can't give you dosage rates or those kind of particulars, because I have not done it myself, but I know an eccentric rancher that did that to clean up his coyotes. It works really well, but the big problem, like I stated above is everything else eating up the baits. I do know they need to be small enough that the canines will just wuff them down, without chewing and tasting, as they may not ingest it if they taste the chemical. That rancher I know used ground beaver and applied the chemical to each little ball, then froze and dropped them in places where the yotes hunt for groceries. He put out a large number, and he said the coyotes were better the next year, but too many infiltrated from surrounding area, so it was back to mange in a couple years. That was why I never persued it, but in this case, it might be the ticket! Good luck!
